Hot or cold, stay on the road this summer!

This month sees the start of the peak holiday season so expect traffic volumes to increase as families head off for their long awaited summer break.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with RAC to bring you an exclusive saving of £54.51 that gives you Roadside, Recovery and At Home cover, for only £89.99, reduced from £144.50. So why wait? Make sure your next road trip runs smoothly by getting instant cover today. Simply click here.

RAC Breakdown Cover ensures you’ll never get stranded at the side of the road. If you breakdown they’ll be right there to help, wherever you are in the UK, whatever the time of day. And the RAC cover more than just breakdowns, they’ll even help if you suffer a flat tyre or flat battery.

RAC understands that every journey is important so urges drivers to do some journey planning and carry out basic maintenance checks to their cars before setting off which could save both time and money

Kevin Andrews, RAC patrol ambassador of the year, says: “As we hit the peak summer holiday driving season - be it drivers heading to the airport, going further afield or simply having days out - and fuel prices still at near record levels, every penny counts.

I would advise drivers to check their proposed route before setting off to make the journey as trouble-free as possible. Also, remember that driving at 60mph instead of 70mph could increase fuel economy by up to 10%.”

Over the summer holiday period, RAC will again have extra Patrols at key times in recognised hotspot areas so they can help drivers reach their destinations if they have the misfortune to breakdown.

Traffic around theme parks and other events, including the many music festivals, will also have an impact on traffic volumes and RAC advises motorists to check their routes in advance of their journey to avoid getting caught up in slow moving traffic or jams.
